                      Wednesday, September 7, 2011

  Mr. FILNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to proclaim that organized 
labor is often the sole source fighting for the rights of not just 
union members, but all workers.
  Today, we are recognizing a great leader of working men and women in 
Randy Cammack. Randy currently serves as the Vice President at Large of 
the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Executive Board President 
Joint Council 42, and the Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Local 63.
  Randy Cammack began his Teamster career in Los Angeles, California as 
a UPS truck driver in 1967. He has logged over 31 years as either a 
business agent or officer with the Teamsters International. As the Vice 
President at Large of the Teamsters International, he represents over 
1.4 million workers; and as President of the California State 
Federation of Labor, he is the voice for over one million workers.
  Randy has served on several collective bargaining teams at the local, 
state and national levels. He is frequently brought in to help solve 
many complex, tough grievances and wage negotiations sessions. It is 
basically in this area of his vast experience that he has earned 
numerous local, state, and national recognitions.
  Among the many awards he has received are the Hispanic Community 
Service Man of the Year Award, twice won the Community Service Man of 
the Year Award, 2011 Inaugural Labor Award and the 2011 Gladys Mason 
Labor Award for Patriotic Leadership presented to him by my colleague, 
Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez.
  It gives me great honor to join with the San Diego County Building 
and Construction Trades Council in honoring Randy Cammack as the 2011 
Labor Leader of the Year.
